UP AND OVER: Running the Rockwall Trail

We've done the Rockwall Trail before. But not like this.
In fact, we've never run anything close to this distance.
The Rockwall Trail is a 55ishkm (34 mile) trek through the backcountry of Kootenay National Park. Named for the impressive limestone cliffs towering over the trail, the Rockwall Trail is a challenging hike, climbing three significant mountain passes, and is usually hiked by normal people over 3-5 days.
Somehow landing on the nicest weather day of the year, we traversed flower-filled meadows and larch forests, down craggy creek valleys and up high passes, past waterfalls and hanging glaciers, and beneath the jagged peaks of BC's Rocky Mountains. It's truly one of the most incredible spaces we've ever experienced.

Damn i can't believe you did that route in 9 hours. That's actually insane. I just finished backpacking the route in 3 says and 2 nights frim north to south. Must have been a incredible experience to have grinded that entire route in one shot like that
